US can achieve progress in combating COVID-19 by late April

COVID-19 is spreading rapidly across the globe. Considerable efforts of international governments are required in order to curb the expansion of the virus. Leaders of all nations wish the pandemic to end as soon as possible. The rapid spread of COVID-19 is a matter of concern to US President Donald Trump. According to the White House administration, the US can make substantial progress in the fight against the coronavirus epidemic in late April 2020. Last Sunday, March 29, the American leader extended the lockdown period in the country until the end of April this year. Due to a serious epidemiological situation in the US, Donald Trump gave up the idea to ease restrictions and reopen businesses that could boost the economy by mid-April. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, agreed with Trump’s decision underlining that Americans should self-quarantine in order to slow down any further spread of the coronavirus. These measures are necessary in order to minimize the number of new COVID-19 cases. Anthony Fauci urged American citizens to be responsible and patient as self-isolation is important for the survival of the nation.
